I am wondering if you can explain rows 5 - 9 to me...it says to "repeat Row 1" but Row 1 was the "Pick up stitches" row?? Do you mean repeating Row 2 or do a repeat of rows 3 & 4? Also in your description of the towel topper in the start of your blog you state that it "starts with a K6, P2 rib pattern but in the instructions you start with a *P6, K2* is that correct or should it be reversed? I love this pattern and this my first attempt at knitting a Towel Topper so any clarity you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Okay, I'm on my 2nd one but haven't gotten past the buttonholes because I'm confused. Think the pattern rows are mis-numbered. 55-66 is rib pattern, then the next row is 57,58,59 & 60 or should it be 67,68,69 & 70?

It's my first time doing this type of pattern. Please explain row 4 and all even rows. Also rows 5-9 repeat row 3. Do you repeat row 3 for every row. Rows 5,6,7,8 9. Any help would be great. Thanks Tessa

It looks like it is only 1 purl st bracketed by ssk. If you look at the row above (Row 27) you will see that you are asked to do K2, P2tog, K2 which results in K2, P1, K2 sts on your needle and that will match up with the SSK, P1, SSK of Row 29.

Row 2 missed the carriage return and is in fact on Row 1's line in the pattern. Have a re-read of Row 4 it says that all even rows .... that will take care of rows 10, 14, 16 and 18. Row 13-15 takes care of your Row 15 problem.

Been on 3 months holiday to Italy and learnt to do these as I am a knitter and couldn't find many patterns. I have done 20 so far as tea towels in Italy are lovely. So everyone will be getting them for Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern
